Singing and signing
Buddy classes at Banks Avenue School last week had a ‘singing and
signing’ lesson. The school celebrated New Zealand Sign Language
Week by learning letters and words from a pupil who has cochlear
implants, with the help of her mother. Natalia and mother Liz
Kay taught junior and senior buddy classes a fun way of learning
sign language, through singing and dancing. New Zealand Sign
Language Week started yesterday and runs until Sunday.
EXCITED: These Rawhiti School
pupils were among hundreds
from South New Brighton and
Rawhiti schools who will count
down the sleeps until they watch
the Warriors take on the Penrith
Panthers. Last week nearly 500
pupils and parents were handed
tickets to attend the National
Rugby League match thanks to
the generosity of a number of
local businesses. The Panthers will
visit both schools on Thursday in
the lead-up to the Saturday clash
at AMI Stadium.
New equipment, facilities
welcome back Marshland pupils
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
Marshland School pupils came
back after the holidays to find
they had a whole range of new
equipment, a cricket pitch, and
more seating for lunchtime.
They were all installed at the
school during the holiday
break.
Principal Jacqui Pascoe
said the pupils have spent
their morning tea and
lunch breaks testing out
the new equipment all
week.
“The children, teachers
and parents at Marshland
are all very excited to have
the new equipment,” she
said.
The pupils have also been
training for their upcoming
cross-country event, which will
be the first at the new site.
Mrs Pascoe said the new track
will be testing for the pupils.
“At the new school, the crosscountry
track is much more
interesting with mounds for the
children to
run up and down,” she said.
In addition to the pupils coming
back from their holiday
break, Mrs Pascoe said the second
stage of development to the
school is about to begin.
“(Stage two) will
consist of a new learning
hub and da Vinci
making space for our
intermediate students,
and a learning hub
for a group of students
from Ferndale
School,” she said.
She said the da
Vinci space will be
where pupils can
design, create and
collaborate on new ideas using
technology.
PLAY TIME: New playground equipment at Marshland School has seen
the kids outside testing it out for the past week.
